PA, 1878: Alittic while ago, in notine the arrival of Miss Nina Saville at the New Centreviile Opera- Tlouse, we quoted rather extensively from our esteemed contemporary, the Mendocino T'mez, and commented upon’ the quotation, Shortly afterwards, ft may also be remembered, wo made a very direct und decided apology tor the skeptical levity which inspired those‘ remarks, and expreased our bearty sympathy with the honest, tf somewhat effusive, enthusiasm with which the dramatic erltic of Mendocino creeted the sweet and dainty little girl who threw over the dull, weary old business of the stazo ‘Ren- sation the charm of o fresh and enild-like beauty and originality, as rare and delicate as those strange, unreasonable ttle climimers of spring sunsets that now and then Hgbt up fora brief moment the dull ekics of winter evenings, and seetn to have atrayed into ungrateful Jan- uary out of sheer pity for the sad earth. We refer to the matter at this date only be- cause In our remarks of a few days aro we hod oreastou to mention the fact of the existence of Mr. Zeke Kilburn, an advance agent, who called upon us at tie time, to endeavor to in- duce us, by means apparently catculated more closely for the latitude uf Mendorino, to extend to Miss Saville, before her aopearance, the critical approbation which we gladly extended alter, This litttc item of interest we alluded to at the time, and furthermore intimated, with some yorueness, that there existed iu Mr. Kil- burn’s character a certain. misdirected zeal which, comblned with atoo kven artistic up- preelation, are apt to be rather dangerous stock- {n-trade for an udvance agent. It was twenty-ecvea minutes past 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The chaste white mystery of Shigeo Mountain was already taking on a faint, almost {mperceptible, lint of pink, ke the warm cheek of a girl who hears a yolce und anticipates a blush. Yet the rave of the alter- noon sun rested with undipinlshed radiance on the empty pork-barrel in troutof MeSulliu's shebaue. Mr. Kilburn emerged from the hostelry of MeMullin, Mr. Kilburn, oy wo have before stated at bis own request, Js a centleman of im- posing presence, Itty well that wo imadu this statement when we did, for it is hard tu judge of the imposing quality ina gentleman's pres- ence when that centleman is suspended from the arm of another centlenian by the collar of the fret gentleman's coat. The gentleman in the rear of Mr. Kilburn was Mr, Witllam = Beau- yoir, a young Englishman {ua check sult. Mr. Beauvoir ts vot avowedly aman of imposing nresence; he wears 0 seal ring, und he [s xener- ally ascion of an effete oligarchy, but he bas, sitica bis intraduction into this community, be- haved himacif, to uso the adjectival adverb of Mr. MeMullin, white, and be has a very remark- able biceps. These qualities nay horeafter co- hanco his popularity in New Centreville, Mr, Keauvoir's movemunts, at twenty-seven minutes past 2-yeaterday alternvon, were few and aimple, He doubled Afr. Kilburn up, after the fashion of au ordinary jack-kuffe, and placed him in the barrel, remarkhig, as bo did su, * You wht, will you?” ie then rammed Mr, Kilburo caretully hume, and put the cover on. We learn to-day that Mr. Kilburn has re- sumed bls profeasfonal duties on the road.
